Makes My Monday

Linking up with Twinfatuation! Thanks so much Cheryl for letting me play along!

Trying to get a GOOD picture with my two can literally make Todd and I go insane. At first they both pitch a fit about doing it in the first place! Then trying to get them them both to look at the camera at the same time plus actually smile is pure torture. You would think it hurt or something!!

These pictures totally make my Monday!!

Please excuse

The mess....I had to remove the winter pictures. I am going to be working with Liz at Sweet Simplicity Designs in a few weeks for a new blog design. I am so very excited! Yay! So until then my blog look may be a little boring.

ME challenge - Week 22

Linking up with the lovely dollimama for the 52 week challenge!





I actually had to really sit back and think of what I did for myself this week. But once I started thinking I thought of a few things. I sometimes take for granted the small things. That is why I love the concept behind this challenge...it is easy to list the big & obvious things, but it makes me appreciate the small stuff too! So here they are:

1) I ordered and received a new iPad cover. Actually should really call it a Luke cover. I have an otter box cover for my iPhone, so I ordered the same for my iPad. Makes me feel I more comfortable seeing him carrying it over the tile! ;-)

2) I ordered and received 2 tank tops. Both are black...I have to wear tanks under all my shirts. Not sure how I started this habit, but I feel naked without them. Very strange, I know! :)

3) I was craving ice cream, so I got myself some. I have no shame!

I hope you all found time for yourself too!

Now for my 2nd giveaway!! This is totally for all you coffee drinkers. How would you like to win a $25 starbucks gift card?!?! Funny thing is I don't even drink coffee. My parents always told me it would make me grow hair on my chest...I guess that stuck with me! Ha! Would you unfollow me if I told you that I have never even stepped foot into a starbucks! My hubby doesn't drink it either. I know we are weird! I will draw the winner next Friday, June 10th at 7 CST. Yay, isn't this fun!! :)

A required entry is to be a GFC follower (hopefully it is working). I know you can still follow by clicking follow at the very top of the page, but you have to be sign into your google account for the follow button to show up. For a 2nd entry leave an additional comment telling me your favorite drink from there. Maybe it will sound good enough to make me want to try it! Please remember to leave 2 separate comments. Good luck! Have a great weekend!

Growing Pickles

My kids love pickles...especially Luke! When my Mom and I were shopping for plants at a local green house she spotted a cucumber hanging basket. She thought it would be a good way to show Molly and Luke where pickles come from! :) Everyday they get to water their "pickle" plant! So far we only have one cucumber growing, but it sure is a pretty cucumber if you ask me!! What do you think?

Side note- please excuse Miss Molly's hair...it was still early! ;-)
